it is a very interesting concept and works well in practice too apart from having to keep topping up a water / meths tank

I think I might add one to the shopping list, Will there be room to mount the tank/pump under the bonnet you think or is it a boot job, cos could always get a spec c tank then, they are HUGE

I run aquamist, it sprays well (middle size jet), 2 gallon tank and doesn't need filling up that much (although I've not gone on hols abroad with car yet - decent miles might need a fill along the way). Get one with baffles so you dont get loss of water feed when level low and on sharp corners.

Def needs much much less topping up than 3 gallon (Spec C size) water tank which runs auto and manual IC spray on my car. Just to add, both tanks are fitted in the boot as def not enough space around engine bay for it on my motor.

Oh ps, if buy aquamist, get 3D map one and set it up - you can tell when injecting to much water by how the engine performs or during mapping.

So im assuming this is mapped into your car, therefore, once you start using it, you have to keep using it, or need a further remap to remove it?
